bug in title/filename using file export buttons when svg present on page

jraczek

Hello,

The documentation for the built-in file export buttons in version 1.4.2 states the special character * represents the host document's title tag for the title and filename options. However, <title> is also valid within an svg object. The file export buttons are concatenating all title tags on the page, rather than using only the HTML's title. To correct for this, I have had to include the following in my code:

var t = $('#myTable').DataTable(
    {
        buttons: [
            {
                extend: 'excel',
                filename: $('head > title').text(),
                title: $('head > title').text()
            }
        ]
    }
);

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Very good point - thanks for bringing that up! I've committed a fix and it will be in the next release (which will be before the end of the month).
